What makes a shutout? A shutout occurs when a goalie allows zero goals for the entire game (minimum 60 minutes). Shootout goals don't count against shutouts.

Shutout probability factors

- Opponent offense: Bottom-10 offenses get shut out more often - Goalie quality: Elite goalies have higher shutout rates - Team defense: Good defense limits high-danger chances - Game script: Blowout favorites play defensive hockey late

Shutout odds

NHL-wide, about 6-7% of games end in shutouts. Elite goalies facing weak offenses may have 10-15% shutout probability.

💡
Pro Tip: Target elite goalies facing bottom-5 offenses at home. These are the highest-probability shutout opportunities.
